The Science of Meaning

Essays on the Metatheory of Natural Language Semantics

Herausgeber: Ball, Derek; Rabern, Brian

Beschreibung

With language we command, assert, query, emote, insult, and inspire. Language has meaning, and semantics is the science of linguistic meaning. But what exactly is <"meaning>"? What is the exact target of semantic theory? This volume explores these questions, in the light of the current state of the art in natural language semantics.
